FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Authorities in Cumberland County are asking for the public's help to identify a woman caught on surveillance video trying to cash a forged check that was stolen from a local church.

The sheriff's office said Monday that she allegedly broke into WHI Sand & Gravel in Fayetteville in June and stole a checkbook from the drawer of an employee that belonged to a church where he is a superintendent.

She then went to a Wells Fargo bank branch on Raeford Road and tried to cash a check for $2,300, investigators said.

Authorities said the woman also stole engine oil, a pressure washer and hydraulic fluid from WHI Sand & Gravel.

The woman in the surveillance video is black with a medium complexion and wears her hair in a ponytail, investigators said.

Anyone with any information that could help detectives identify the woman is asked to contact the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office at 910-323-1500.
